Functional Hood Vents

[Damon]

Looks like I get to bust the cherry on the new catagory.  

I have a 3rd gen Trans Am, and recently I cut out the sheet metal behind the two front vents.  There is a few inches between the hood and the top of the radiator when it's closed, plenty of room for fresh air to get to the carb.  It didn't weaken the integrity of the hood any because there are still brackets on either side that I didn't cut.  

Check it (and the rest of my car!) out at:

I don't mind at all George, and thanks for the compliments.  I know it looks a little rough around the edges. I still need to smooth and shape the edges to make it look better.  I've been so busy getting ready for the first track visit of the season that it has taken a back seat to everything else.  I'll update the pic when it's finished.
